Jack White has made some bold statements about The Black Keys' music and their relationship to his own sound in a his recent cover story with Rolling Stone. The remarks are the latest in a series of not-so-amicable exchanges that erupted when White's private emails expressing dislike for Keys' member Dan Auerbach were obtained and published by TMZ during White's divorce from Karen Elson last year. At the time, White had attempted to remove his children from the same school as Auerbach's children, calling Auerbach an "asshole" and complained about "other people trying to lump us together". (The Keys, meanwhile, responded mildly, saying "we've all said fucked up shit in private" and that they "actually feel embarrassed for him".)

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Jack White revealed that Kanye West asked him to collaborate on last year's Yeezus. Unfortunately, Kanye never followed up. But White was a huge fan of the Yeezus tour: "That might have been the greatest show I've seen in my life," he said. "It was more punk, more in-your-face than anything I've seen."

During Jack White's custody battle with ex-wife Karen Elson last year, private emails between the two were obtained and published by TMZ. In the emails, White revealed his dislike for Black Keys member Dan Auerbach while attempting to have his and Elson's children removed from the same private school as Auerbach's children. "That's a possible twelve fucking years I'm going to have to be sitting in kids chairs next to that asshole with other people trying to lump us in together," he wrote. "He gets yet another free reign to follow me around and copy me and push himself into my world."
